    I was in sick as a dog yesterday.

    Yesterday morning I was still fine when I woke up, but within 90 minutes from waking up, I was doubled up with some kind of stomach pains.

    Battled to drive myself to my house doctor’s office…. behoorlik om and dom from the pain.

    Doc saw me as an emergency case, his nurse gave me one moer of an injection to make all the stomach muscles relax…. and they did to some extent. Then he wanted to have me taken up in hospital for sonar’s to be taken and for me to be put on a drip.

    Well, I said NO!

    I lay there till I felt that I could somehow drive myself home, excused myself and came home… took the day off.

    Today I’m better but still at only 80% of capacity…

    Anyway, let me do some work.

    This is sad news wishing his family all the strength at this time, really tough for those children to grow up without their dad.

    18 @ grootblousmile:
    Take it easy GBS, maybe you should have taken the advice and at least gone for the scan, you could maybe have passed on the drip if you’re that scared of needles but surely you would want to be reassured that all is ok if it caused you that much pain.
